Before the Shylocks could reach it, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, mixed with fierce quarrels and indirect neighing.
Realizing that there was a problem, he quickly quickened his pace and ran back, only to see a group of eight unicorns surrounding Zoe and Huayidi, asking stern questions.
"Human, my people told me that when he arrived, you were the only one beside Mona." A unicorn with its horns and hair glowing with silver roared in a low voice: "You are the one who has been hunting.
Kill my people?"
"I already said it wasn't me, it was a vampire, and it was us who saved Mona." Zoe argued loudly.
Although the silver unicorn was angry, he had not completely lost his mind. There was still a trace of doubt that a little girl would do such a thing: "What evidence do you have?"
"I believe that when Mona wakes up, all the truth will be revealed."
Facing everyone's gaze, Sherlock slowly walked out and saluted: "Disciples of Sandakol and Melikai, guardians of nature, Sherlock the Harper."
"Druid, is this girl your companion?" The silver unicorn calmed down a little. He still trusted the identity of the half-elf druid.
"That's right, when my companions and I found Mona, he was already seriously injured. It was my natural partner who cured his injuries. I chased the vampire alone, but it was a pity that the vampire ran away in the end.
."Sherlock told the cause and effect.
“咴咴咴……”
“咴咴咴……”
“咴咴咴……”
"Ouch -" the silver unicorn stopped the people's argument and turned around and said: "In that case, you can go back with me. When Mona wakes up, if you really saved her, I am willing to help us."
Apologies for the rudeness before.”
"Thank you for your understanding." Sherlock was originally going to find the unicorn. If rescuing Mona could gain the friendship of their clan, it wouldn't be a big deal to suffer a little grievance.
Under the gaze of a crowd of unicorns, he and Zoe finally arrived at the destination of their trip - Furino, the hometown of unicorns.
Perhaps because of the recent frequent disappearances, the atmosphere in Furino is very tense.
The arrival of the unconscious Mona and two strangers soon caused quite a commotion in the habitat.
Sherlock didn't know the language of unicorns, but from everyone's reactions, he could still see a trace of panic permeating them.
The crisis that the unicorns encountered may be much greater than he imagined.
"You guys wait here for a moment. I'll take Mona for treatment first." After taking Sherlock and the two to a tree house to take care of them, the silver unicorn took Mona away alone.
There is a forbidden magic circle inside the tree house, and there are five adult unicorn guards outside the house.
It's not easy to escape from it!
"Xiaoxia, can you lift this forbidden magic circle?" Zoe said in frustration after failing several times.
"Let's wait. If we escape now, won't we be afraid of crime and abscond?" Sherlock said calmly.
"Okay..." What Zoe hates most is being in solitary confinement. Fortunately, someone is with her this time.
"Stop pouting and try this." Sherlock handed over a long black piece.
"What is it?" Zoe took a taste and immediately exclaimed happily: "It's delicious!"
"This is the rum cherry-filled chocolate I developed myself. You are the first to taste it." Sherlock also took out a piece and ate it.
In the past few days, he had been practicing in the Room of Requirement, refining medicine, tailoring, and cooking, and this chocolate was one of the products of that practice.
"100 times more delicious than the chocolate frog in school." Zoe quickly ate the whole piece of chocolate: "Any more?"
Sherlock liked to watch Zoe eating and said with a smile: "If you eat too much chocolate, you will get fat."
“I’ll just eat two pieces, eat two pieces~~”.
"Then...just two yuan."
"I promise!" Zoe raised her hand and said, "But...can I eat tomorrow's portion too?"
"No!" Sherlock pointed a finger on Zoe's forehead to stop her from acting coquettishly.
The two of them chatted while eating, but couldn't wait for a reply, so they just started cooking hot pot.
Because Zoe really can't stand his way of eating clear soup without dipping sauce.
Just as they were fighting for the last piece of rice cake, the door of the tree house was opened.
The silver unicorn from before walked in and said in a deep voice: "Sorry, two guests, we misunderstood you."
"Is Mona awake?" Sherlock gave up the last piece of rice cake.
"Yes, although she has no memory of what happened in the end, it was indeed a vampire that attacked her."
"Excuse me, aren't the unicorns the natural enemies of the undead? Rumor has it that your blood can drive away all evil. I wonder how that vampire hurt Mona." Sherlock asked curiously.
"This is exactly what we are worried about." The silver unicorn said worriedly.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Sherlock was very familiar with the process of completing a set of tasks.
"Originally, we were supposed to entertain you two, but..." The silver unicorn hesitated: "I wonder if you are willing to help us find the hunter behind us."
"Of course I do. It is my wish to maintain the balance of nature." This kind of mission is the best way to increase reputation points. Sherlock is waiting to exchange the mission reward for the diamond wood of Huayedi.
System prompt: You have accepted the hidden mission - to resolve the crisis in Furino!
Recently, Furino, the hometown of unicorns, has been shrouded in a shadow. Seven tribesmen have disappeared for no reason, causing great panic.
The leader of the unicorn clan, Druna, could never find the hunter behind him, and panic continued to spread.
Your unexpected appearance broke this situation. Your friendliness and strength won the trust of Druna. He hopes that you can help resolve the crisis of the unicorn clan.
After accepting the mission and asking about the incident, Sherlock took Zoe away from Furino and returned to the entrance of the Spider Cave.
"Xiaoxia, how do you know that vampire is hiding in the spider cave?"
"Unicorns' senses are not weak. If you want to avoid their search, this spider cave is the most suitable. And when we came, didn't you think the situation inside was too strange?" Sherlock explained.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in quickly." Zoe said as she was about to rush into the cave, but Sherlock grabbed her by the collar.
"Xia, there is indeed the smell of the dead inside, and it's very strong!" Huayedi also gave the result of her perception.
"It seems that my guess is correct." Sherlock smiled slightly and said: "Huayedi, you lead the way, let's go!"
